    Anyone remember?

    Have any of you guys seen or may perhaps remember, a chevy panel station wagon with side pipes? This was a Monogram model and it came molded in orange. It had some Doug's Headers decals in white to complement the orange.

    I have seen a lot of older vintage kits such as the Garbage Truck, Scool Bus, etc. I have not seen the one I described above. Quite frankly I can't even remember what the name of that particular kit was.

    Decal Advice

    Steve,

    The middle one seems to be the ideal one. These need to be small, I am placing them in front of the doors. I have another one coming up. The second one is going to be either yellow, or my metallic blue/teal combination. The decal colors will go fine with both.

    What is thou looking for as far as trade goes? I have some stuff here, but it's not the mother lode, I just got back into the hobby about 6 months ago, but I must say I do have some interesting tires, wheels, distributors, netting, grilling material, etc. Shoot me an IM>

    Does ANYBODY have a legible copy

    I just opened a factory sealed Lil Coffin. I was amazed at the instruction booklet, it is a copy and an extremely poor one at that. Even with my power vision scope and a surgeon's light, I can't see the diagrams. I went to www.revell.com, and the website is as useless as the instructions I got. They ask for the model number, but due to the kit's age, they don't have them.

    I build this kit a while back (1969), but I can't remember any of the details. I would really be impressed with myself if I did remember, but I don't!!! Any ideas? Suggestions?

    As always great information. Thanks for the feedback. I have used the Tamiya laquer on bare plastic, no problems, however all of the cars have been in colors other than white. As suggested, I will start using the primer immediately. I just ordered some masking materials, so thanks for the heads up on the need for primer on those occassions where masking is going to be utilized.

    If you have a model that is molded in white, and you want the final product to be white, what paint are you using to achieve this? I just don't like the white of the factory molds. I haven't had great luck spraying white enamel, it seems to not look very good. I was thinking of going with laquer, which white laquer do you guys suggest?

    Polar Lights Kits

    I just purchased the Leroy Yarbrough 98 Mercury Cyclone kit from Model Round Up, great outfit, this is my 2nd purchase and they have been great.

    It appears from just opening the kit, that the polar light kits are of good quality. This is my first Polar Lights kit ever. I was just curious what everyone's opinions are.

    Bruce,

    Needless to say I found a bunch of advertisers that I plan to purchase a ton of stuff from. The articles are wonderful, I was particularly fond of the Galaxie article and the GTO re-do! After a considerable number of years of me being absent from all aspects of the hobby, this magazine has opened my eyes to a lot of things I had NO clue were available. I am so impressed with the technical growth of the hobby over the years. I am 48 years old today, the last model I built was when I was 13 years old. I must confess that I am more excited about the hobby today than I was back then! I haven't been able to put the mag down. All I need to do now is move and get my slot car track up and running!!! I am soooooooooooooooo looking forward to that. Those Fly and Slot.It cars are awesome!

    Since I got back into the hobby I have built 4 kits, so I will be needing a ton of room to display my stuff. My projected move is something I have been looking forward to.
